Four Foods on Friday #21
This weeks questions (that I am doing prior to Friday morning) thanks to Fun, Crafts and Recipes:
#1. What’s your favorite fruit and how do you like to eat it? Right now pineapple, cut into pieces–fresh is okay, but I think I liked canned more.
#2. What is the one spice in your kitchen you use more than any other? Crushed red pepper (we eat a lot of pizza)
#3. Pudding. Instant, stovetop or premade? Premade–not a huge pudding fan, but I’ll eat it every once in awhile.
#4. Share a recipe using potatoes.
This is a recipe we made because we had left over potatoes.
Ingredients: 10 oz of spinach chopped, 3 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3 TBSP butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, 3 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese, 3 TBSP melted butter, 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a medium size casserole dish.
Place potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil. cook until tender, about 22 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash potatoes in bowl.
Gradually add spinach, cream, butter, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix until combined. Transfer potato mixture to casserole dish. Smooth out top.
For topping, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and melted butter. Sprinkle topping evenly over potato mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve immediately.
We added chicken to the mixture because I thought we needed some kind of meat. It made a great filling meal. I know we will try this recipe again.

I’m not much of a pudding fan either. Unless it’s in a pie.

[...] Kari shared a recipe for a potato spinach casserole. She doesn’t really like pudding but if she does it’s instant. Kari recently did a mini review of a computer game I didn’t know was out there, a version of the fame Life. [...]
